Relevant case context

How NanoTag is being applied

Telco-sector asset-identification programs are positioned for Australian network operators reducing exposure to repeat theft and outage events.

How it works

Four steps to protect what matters most.

1

Apply NanoTag

Thousands of microscopic identifiers are applied across the asset using purpose-built applicators.

2

Register Ownership

Each asset is linked to its rightful owner in a searchable, secure database.

3

Asset Becomes Identifiable

Visible warning labels and invisible markers together shift the risk-to-reward equation for thieves.

4

Verify & Recover

Police and recovery teams verify markers in the field and trace the asset back to the registered owner.
